It's pretty amazing the strong bond some people have with animals, and vice versa.....right to the end.

I've seen this video before and it still brought tears to my eyes.

I'm sorry but that is so pitiful. It is time to let this dog go.

I did not think about letting the dog go, he did not seem to be in pain. And that old lady seemed to really enjoy having him there with her.

I agree. He didn't look like he was suffering.

I am all for therapy dogs but this one just struck a cord with me. Something in his eyes seemed very sad. Looks like he can only move his head. Please don't misunderstand my sentiment I just feel that quality of life out weights quanity. I do think that the therapy animals bring alot to the patients they visit and am thankful for the people who take the time to provide this much appreciated service.

Yeah, I saw it too and know what you mean. It is time to let him go.
